_OPINIONS OF THE PRESS._
GEORGE ELIOT. By Mathilde Blind.
"Miss Blind's book is a most excellent and careful study of
a great genius."--_Vanity Fair._
"No page of this interesting monograph should be
skipped."--_Graphic._
"Nothing is more needed in the present day than short
treatises on great writers like these. Miss Blind has spared
no pains to make a coherent and attractive narrative, and has
succeeded in presenting us with a complete biography;
interspersing her account with incisive
criticisms."--_British Quarterly Review._
EMILY BRONTE. By A. Mary F. Robinson.
"Miss Robinson makes the biographical part of her book of
extreme interest, while her criticism of her author is just,
searching, and brilliant."--_Truth._
"In the volume before us we have a critical biography of the
author of 'Wuthering Heights,' and presenting to the mind's
eye a clear and definite conception of the truest and most
unalloyed genius this country has produced. What Mrs. Gaskell
did for Charlotte Bronte, Miss Robinson has with equal grace
and sympathy done for her younger sister."--_Manchester
Courier._
"Emily Bronte is lovingly and faithfully presented both as a
woman and as a writer, and the volume is one for which all
lovers of literature will thank Miss Robinson, and the Editor
who persuaded her to perform the task."--_Derby Mercury._
GEORGE SAND. By Bertha Thomas.
"Miss Thomas' book is well written and fairly complete; she
is well intentioned, always fair, and her book deserves
decided recommendation as an introduction to its
subject."--_Athenaeum._
"In this unpretending volume general readers will find all
that they need to know about the life and writings of George
Sand. Miss Thomas has accomplished a rather difficult task
with great adroitness."--_St. James' Gazette._
"A life of George Sand written carefully and with adequate
knowledge, must, and doubtless will, be of interest to many
readers, and this little book shows both care and
knowledge."--_Vanity Fair._

_OPINIONS OF THE PRESS._
MARY LAMB. By Anne Gilchrist.
"Mrs. Gilchrist's 'Mary Lamb' is a painstaking cultivated
sketch, written with knowledge and feeling."--_Pall Mall
Gazette._
"To her task of recording this life, Mrs. Gilchrist has
evidently brought wide reading and accurate knowledge. She is
to be congratulated on the clearness and interest of her
narrative, on the success with which she has placed before us
one of the gentlest and most pathetic figures of English
literature."--_Academy._
"A thoroughly delightful volume, lovingly sympathetic in its
portraiture, and charged with much new and interesting
matter."--_Harpers' Magazine._
"To all persons who enjoy a narrative of private life, and to
all who desire a greater intimacy than they have hitherto
enjoyed with Elia and Bridget, we cordially recommend Mrs.
Gilchrist's 'Mary Lamb.'"--_Vanity Fair._
MARIA EDGEWORTH. By Helen Zimmern.
"A very pleasing resume of the life and works of our gifted
countrywoman."--_Freeman's Journal._
"An interesting biography."--_Echo._
"Miss Zimmern is the first to tell the story as a whole for
English readers, and the way in which she describes the Irish
home, the literary partnership of eccentric father and
obedient daughter, the visit to France, and Miss Edgeworth's
sight of certain French celebrities including Madame de
Genlis, is full of liveliness."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
MARGARET FULLER. By Julia Ward Howe.
"A very fresh and engaging piece of biography, and a worthy
addition to Mr. Ingram's carefully-selected and well-edited
series."--_Freeman's Journal._
"Well worthy of association with its popular predecessors,
and among the new books that should be read."--_Derby
Mercury._
London: W. H. ALLEN & CO. 13 Waterloo Place. S.W.

_OPINIONS OF THE PRESS._
ELIZABETH FRY. By Mrs. E. R. Pitman.
"Of all English philanthropists, none exhibits a nobler
nature or is worthier of a permanent record than Mrs. Fry.
For this reason we welcome the sketch of her by Mrs. Pitman,
published in the Eminent Women Series."--_Times._
"An excellent idea of Mrs. Fry's noble life and work can be
got from Mrs. Pitman's simple but impressive
work."--_Contemporary Review._
"One of the best and most interesting of the
series."--_Literary World._
"This is a good book, worthy of a place in the interesting
Eminent Women Series."--_Spectator._
"Excellent in arrangement and proportioned with
judgment."--_Academy._
COUNTESS OF ALBANY. By Vernon Lee.
"The accomplished authoress has done her work _con amore_,
and left no stone unturned in her endeavour to show the world
the flesh-and-blood aspect of the wife of the young Pretender
and of her lover, the poet Alfieri."--_Lady's Pictorial._
"Every page of the book bears witness to the author's ability
and determination to realize her subject, and make readers
realize it."--_Athenaeum._
"There is a vivid power in Vernon Lee's realization of
Florentine life and society, and much beauty and glow of
colour in her descriptions."--_Saturday Review._
"This romantic biography is as exciting as any work of
imagination, and the incisive and graphic style of its author
renders it singularly attractive."--_Morning Post._
HARRIET MARTINEAU. By Mrs. Fenwick Miller.
"A faithful and sympathetic account of this remarkable
woman."--_Scotsman._
"As a reflective broad-minded woman's faithful description of
another woman's private life and brilliant literary career,
this critical sketch is admirable."--_Whitehall Review._
"It is not in any sense of the word a compilation, but a
memoir which is a model of that conciseness which is not
incompatible with distinct portraiture or with a fresh and
living interest in the narrative."--_Daily News._
"Mrs. Miller has done her difficult work well, and her volume
is one of the ablest and most interesting of the able and
interesting series to which it belongs."--_Derby Mercury._
London: W. H. ALLEN & CO., 13 Waterloo Place. S.W.
